As Law Clerk, Kevin reviewed appellate legal briefs, researched the underlying law, analyzed the legal issues before the court, wrote legal memoranda to the court recommending potential dispositions, drafted court opinions after the Court’s adjudication, and edited and proofread the Court’s final opinion for publication in the Federal Reporter.

Specialties

Kevin has special expertise in law, literary analysis, and higher education. However, his voracious curiosity draws him to many subject areas, including science, environmental issues, and pop culture.

Interests

Kevin loves pictures as well as words. He is creator of the environmental comic HURRY UP PLEASE IT’S TIME, which has been running online for over two years. Kevin draws all the art for the strip and co-writes and co-edits the text.
